Converting an image file to binary data, then back to image (as a "picture", not "image" of IMAQ)

Hi guys, this is exactly what I need to do. Searched around the web and labview forums for help with no avail.
It will be greatly appreciated for a helping hand!

Hi,
Use Picture to Pixmap.vi / Draw Flattened Pixmap pair.

Converting an XML file to a DAT pipe delimited file

Hi
I'm trying to create an SSIS Package which converts an XML file into a dat file which is pipe delimited.
I want the package to be generic so that once that minimal modification is needed when using for different files.
I've so far had no luck with this and need some help/assistance.
All help fully appreciated.
Thank you
Umar Javed

The XML file can vary from fixed to variable.
for Fixed, i've done the same thing as you've suggested and parametrized the flat file connection manager.
For The XML source is there any way we can parametrize the location of the XML or XSD files?
For Variable, unfortunately due to restrictions we can not create an intermediate table and then export.
is there any other way?
Thanks
Umar Javed
XSD path can be made dynamic as below

For variable you can even add them to configurations and then pass them from a file using xml configuration option.

Converting from spreadshet string to array and then back to spreadsheet string

My questions is; why is the Spreadsheet string to array function creating more data than the original string had when you change the array back into a spreadsheet string. Im trying to analyze a comma delimited file using array functions since my column and row size is constant, but my data varies. Thus my reason for not using string parsing functions which would get more involved and difficult. So, however, after i convert to a 2D array of data from the comma delimited file I read from, and then I convert back to string using the Array to Spreadsheet String, I get added columns to the file, which prevents another program from receiving these files. Also, the data which I am reading is not all contiguous, it has gaps in some places for empty data. Looking at the file compared to the original after it has gone from string to array and then back to string again, looks almost identical except for the file size which got larger by 400 bytes and where the original file has empty spaces, the new file has a lot of commas added. Any idea?
Charles

The result you get is normal when the spreadsheet string contains rows of uneven length. Since the array rows have the same number of elements, nil values are added during the coonversion. And of course, the back to string conversion keep those added values in the string, with the associated commas.
example : 3 x 3 array
1,2,3
4
5,6,7
is converted into
1 2 3
4 0 0
5 6 7
then back to
1,2,3
4,0,0
5,6,7

When I convert my PDF file to either Word or Excel, the result is garbage and not usable. What am I doing wrong?

I have converted two PDF files to both Word and Excel. The result is garbage and unreadable. I want to edit the content of the PDF file and thought that this was the solution. What am I doing wrong?

It's probably not something wrong you're doing, just the way the file was
created. You can look under File - Properties - Description and see what
application and PDF producer were used to generate it. My guess is it was
not produced using Adobe software.
At any rate, there's no a lot you can do about it, I'm afraid. You can try
re-frying it, ie sending it to the PDF Printer to produce a new copy, and
then exporting that to Word/Excel, but that's about it.

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc, i only get the graphics but not the text. How do i remedy this?

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc I only get graphics but no text. What to do?

Hey hamsa142,
I think you are converting a scanned PDF to word.
You might need to run OCR first to make the text recognizable and then convert it to word.

Binary data problem with web services on JRockit but not Sun JDK

I have a problem with binary data in SOAP and JRockit
(jrrt-3.0.0-1.6.0-linux-x64.bin) . I have an set of web services based
on EJB 3.0 which return images as byte arrays inside a SOAP envelope
to be consumed by .NET 2 services. The host app server is Oracle
Application Server 10.3.1 on RHEL Linux update 4, on 64 bit Xeon 5500
series HP blade hardware.
While most images are fine most of the time, one particular image
gives this message when being consumed in the .NET client:
The '■' character, hexadecimal value 0x1F, cannot be included in a
name. Line 2, position 380038.
The MSDN suggests that this is usually caused by non-escaping of reserved XML characters like < but this isn't one of those.
The SOAP looks ok and for the life of me I can't see why this ought to
be a problem, especially since the problem doesn't arise running with
the SUN JDK 1.6_06 64 bit)
When making the same call from the OAS Enterprise Manager, I can make the same call with no problem (but the data is just rendered as character data in a browser) which maybe suggests some incompatibility with how JRockit is serializing the data ?
Any ideas, I would be very happy to hear - JRockit gives a 15% or so
speed boost to the website that these services power so obviously we
want to use it if possible.

Seems to be the case that using MTOM stops this problem with JRockit. Strange but apparently true (so far).

I am looking for a way to convert Microsoft Office files to my apple and back again

I am looking for a way to convert Microsoft Office files to my apple and vise vera.
<Re-Titled By Host>

you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.

READING FILE IN BINARY DATA

Any body could suggest code fragment to read the file contents in Binary format? -In JSP?.

Yeah, you'll have to be a bit more specific... what exactly do you want to do with the data? If you just want to get the data from a binary file (like an image or something) a byte at a time, then you can use a FileInputStream.

Dos2unix doesn't convert some RDF files to BINARY...

Hi,
I have a peculiar issue with a couple of RDF's.
My scripts copies all the files to a temp directory; move them to the relevant tops/paths and then do a "dos2unix" on the RDF and RTF files.
Majority of the reports work fine when this is done.
But this doesn't work fine for 2 RDFs.
1) I have customized AR Customer Invoice program (RAXINV_SEL.rdf).
Once i run the installation scripts, it copies everything and does a dos2unix on RDF and RTF files. I can see the custom RDF (XX_RAXINV_SEL.rdf) in $CUSTOM_TOP/reports/US directory.
It doesn't even throw any error when i run the below command in the Custom_Top.
[chundurk-DEV]/u01/oracle/EBSDEV/apps/apps_st/appl/xxabc/12.0.0/reports/US > dos2unix XX_RAXINV_SEL.rdf
dos2unix: converting file XX_RAXINV_SEL.rdf to UNIX format ...
[chundurk-DEV]/u01/oracle/EBSDEV/apps/apps_st/appl/xxabc/12.0.0/reports/US >
But when i run the report, It thows the below error:
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file '/u01/oracle/EBSDEV/apps/apps_st/appl/xxbwp/12.0.0/reports/US/XX_RAXINV_SEL.rdf'.
When i drag the RDF to $CUSTOM_TOP/reports/US in BINARY Mode using FTP, the report works perfectly fine.
2) This is happening the same way for one of my custom reports too.
We've developed about 50-60 reports and all of them work fine, except these 2 reports.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance for your help.

Kesava

Gareth,
Lets ignore the functionality of migration tool for now; its happening the same when i do it directly using SSH Secure Shell Unix & FTP tool.
The steps i generally follow to migrate the reports are provided below:
1. Logged in to SSH Secure Shell Unix & FTP tool.
2. Created a temporary folder say 'reports' in /home/user directory.
3. Drag all the report files to /home/user/reports directory in default mode i.e., ASCII (Migration tool ClearQuest also does the same).
4. Then provide permissions on these files:
chmod 755 *.*
5. Run the shell Script:
090xxbwp_inv_mov_apps.sh apps apps ghoord01:1521:EBSDEV.
Shell script just has the commands shown below:
1. cp -f 090XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf $XXBWP_TOP/reports/US/XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf
cp -f 090XXBWP_INV_MOV.rtf XXBWP_INV_MOV.rtf
2. FNDLOAD $1/$2 O Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct 090XXBWP_INV_MOV_CP.ldt - CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE
FNDLOAD $1/$2 0 Y UPLOAD $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct 090XXBWP_INV_MOV_XML.ldt - CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE
3. dos2unix $XXBWP_TOP/reports/US/XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf
dos2unix XXBWP_INV_MOV.rtf
4. chmod 755 $XXBWP_TOP/reports/US/XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf
chmod 755 XXBWP_INV_MOV.rtf
5. XDOLoader command to attach the RTF File to XML Template Skeleton.
Once this is done; It works perfectly fine for all the reports (RDF's), except two of them.
For the two reports that doesn't work; it thows the below error when the report is ran in APPS:
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file '/u01/oracle/EBSDEV/apps/apps_st/appl/xxbwp/12.0.0/reports/US/XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf'.
Workaround currently in Use:
Transfer the RDF file manually in BINARY MODE to $XXBWP_TOP/reports/US directory and the issue is resolved.
Request you to let me know if you can provide me with any permanant solution for this.
Thanks,
Kesava

Saving image file as binary into database + pulling it out + displaying

Hi guys, this is exactly I have to do, and have no ideal how to do.
It will be greatly appreciated if you can offer help on this.
I don't have a problem putting it into and pulling it out fo the database, it is really the jpg-> binary, and binary->display part that I need help on.
Btw, I am currently using "draw Flatten PixMap.VI" to display a picture in labview, from a jpg file. Can I still use this VI to achieve what I intend to do?

Have you tried this:

4g to no data then back to 4g for a few seconds and no data

I live in watsonville, CA area and we have strong 4g reception in my area. Lately I've been VERY annoyed by the 4g just dropping data altogether. Usually happens when I connect to my wifi, then when I turn it off, the 4g comes on but within 5 sec, NO DATA. Then maybe after a few seconds comes on and then off intermittently. What is going on? Does anyone know how to fix this? This is my second thunderbolt btw and I just received my third thunderbolt and the same exact thing. So I'm going to just send back the one they sent me bc that one has the same exact problems as well.
Would switching out he sim card do anything? Is it my phone or the towers? Im going to just ask verizon to send me a phone until I find a working one. I think they keep sending me the ones that had the same problems from other customers...but certified refurbished of course.

When you connect to wifi make sure your tower data is off, then when you are going off of wifi, turn it off then turn the tower data back on

Help! changed file location on pc, then back, now itunes can't find

because my c drive was getting full, i changed my itunes file storage location to another drive, following the 'help' instructions. i copied over my entire itunes music folder. it stored new imports there but when i click on most of the old stuff, it couldn't locate it. so i copied the whole itunes folder back where it was - and it still can't find it. and now it's deleted it all from my ipod.
what's my fastest fix? do i manually import everything over again from the new drive, or manually change every song's location, or is there an easier global way?
thank you!

Something is different in the paths to the files....hence itunes cannot find them.
Sound like you know about the ITL file, which is why you copied it over.
What you can do is look in its companion XML file to see the paths itunes thinks it should be using.
If your XML is really big, open it using WordPad instead of NotePad. About the 10th line down is the itunes preference setting for the itunes folder:
key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/K:/iTunes%20Music/</string>
On my system it's K:/iTunes Music
The %20 just indicates a space.
Then each song will have its own path
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/K:/iTunes%20Music/Cowboy%20Junkies/The%20Trinity%20Session/07%2 0200%20More%20Miles.mp3</string>
Now....can you see ANYTHING funny in one of those song paths?Is there an extra space, a different user name, anything different than what you could browse to in Windows Explorer?

How do I get lost data back, after update sync all pictures, notes and mail lost

How do you get pictures, notes contacts and mail back, lost after update on IPhone5

Restore the backup that you made when you last synced your phone to iTunes on your computer. Alternatively, if you enabled iCloud backup on the phone, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.

Can't get online. Error message says current status is "offline." I uncheck "offline" in the File Menu but it goes back offline again immediately and will not stay in online mode..

'''bold text'''

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, things have gotten progressively worse now in another direction. After I posted this, I shut down my computer to go to work. It had to "rebuild" the filevault sparseimage to recover space.
Now when I restarted it, I am missing things from my dock, ? marks are in their place, all of my preferences have been set to some default AND this is the biggie - I have no mail accounts whatsoever. When I click on Mail, it asks me if I want to establish a new account. It looks like the FileVault action has totally screwed up my system.
I tried rebuilding the permissions as recommended above using safe boot. Didn't help. I am now trying to repair the FileVault sparseimage as recommended elsewhere. I think I now see what the problem might be. I have two different sparseimages for the same account with the only difference is that a 1 is appended to the second one. Unfortunately I can't tell which it is. I have a feeling I should repair the 1st one (without the suffix 1). It must not be able to open that and hence that is why it made a second one.
Any other help anyone?
Nick

Can't group image file

I frequently want to bring an image file into Pages, and then add text or shapes to annotate the image. I want to group the objects and the image. I can multi-select any text or shapes that I have added; but I cannot add the image file to the selection. Does anyone have a simple way to overcome this?
Thanks!

I don't know what you are doing wrongly.
I clicked the photo then with the cmd key depressed I clicked the two other objects.
The result was :
I just got an idea.
Maybe your image is not floating like mine but inline.
